(Archive) Advertising District / Zippo's Wacky World of Wonders

I love the use of the stones on the buildings, best texturing I have seen in a while. And the coaster going through there is perfect.

I've loved every screen so far.

Thanks for the comments!

Jusmith - I'll see what I can do about foliage. Now that I've built the buildings on the other side of the path, though, there's much less path visible so it's a bit less concretey.

RaPiPo - what do you mean, sheep stomachs stuffed with bits of sheep? Haggises are real animals that run around the mountains!

Anyway, I'll move that pic onto the new page:



and here's another one just for good measure!

the 2nd screen drips atmosphere, although something is slightly off of the rapids, i think the fence should be moved in a tad closer if possible to make the channel smaller, also, stack the fences so they go underwater.

I just realized I hate that custom path in the first screen.

As for the second, it's lovely.

2nd screen is like pure amazing.
very amtosphric like geewhzz

<3 that second screen.

That second screen is the shit, man. I'm in love with it.

The first screen though, I think, is too blocky. The buildings have great shape and great color, but it looks like there are giant postage stamps stuck on the rooves. I realize that it's part of the architecture, but it looks kinda funky.

Otherwise, the park looks great. Can't wait to download it.

The bridge is indeed nice looking but it would look nicer without the round brown footers.

^He's right.

For the first screen, I love it, most of all the ride interaction!
It's just great!

love it. but i agree with people on the custom path in the first screen, its colour ruins the screen.

Nah, I think that without the footers, the bridge would looks weak. And also brown is a good idea since it fits with the colour of the train.

Outstanding work here.

Thanks everyone!

geewhzz - I'll play around with that fence a bit.

disneylhand and Fr3ak - I'll look into the footers.

As regards the path in the first screen, I agree it isn't great. Ideally I'd use normal paths, but in my experience they glitch when I zero-clearance objects on top. I've tried building the objects then the path, and also the path then the objects, but it flickers either way. I'll try using a different kind of block though to get another texture.

^maybe you could those path-objects which are in the PT benches. Just use invisible paths then.
They'll work great!

I love this project, btw! I'm looking forward to the release. Everything looks nice, from archy to ideas, to landscape and rides! I smell Spotlight!

"MFG"

Great idea, 5dave! I Dimported some path blocks in and they work a treat.

Now I have another dilemma! Which of these paths is better?





The steps look a bit weird with the brick path ( I tried several different colours), and the brick might make everything too busy, but the grey tarmac is a bit boring...

First. It makes that screens so much better.

Yeah, the first is so much better. It has a great atmosphere. I didn't know there was a path block with those textures. Where did you get the first one?

Get on msn and I'll send it to you if you want .
